In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

In this activity, learners predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.

In this chemistry challenge, learners combine acids and bases in a universal indicator to create five different colors.

In this activity, learners create a straw oboe to explore sound and pitch.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

Learners explore the physical properties of a variety of balls and how they bounce.

In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a

In this activity, learners use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GEMS Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into technology design and testing.

In this activity, learners investigate how changing the center of gravity of a balloon affects how it travels. Learners fill a balloon with a little bit of water and insert into an empty balloon.

Learners build at least two different spinners (tops) to investigate how mass distribution, size, and shape affect the length of time the spinner spins.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

In this activity, learners make water-walking critters using thin wire, and then test how many paper clips these critters can carry without sinking.
